Wow, this was impressive writing, and a heartbreaking story! I loved the idea that they had Palantíri for each family member to check on them. But oh no, what a horror Nerdanel faces as she looks at the Palantír. Thankfully Nienna is there. And the ending is quite thrilling! I suppose there’s going to be more?
